ON NUMERICAL RANGE OF SOME CLASSES OF OPERATORS IN HILBERT SPACES
(University of Eldoret, 2021)The numerical range of operators in Hilbert spaces has been researched by several authors. The properties of the numerical range play an important role in identifying the behaviour of operators in Hilbert spaces. It ... -
EFFECTS OF TRYPANOSOMA BRUCEI BRUCEI INFECTION ON THE HISTOLOGY AND FUNCTIONING OF THE HYPOTHALAMO-THALAMUS-PINEAL GLAND AXIS IN MALE ALBINO RATS (Rattus novergicus)
(University of Eldoret, 2014)Trypanosomosis is a major health problem threatening the lives of over 60 million people in 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by Trypanosoma parasites which are transmitted through a bite of an infected ... -
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR CHARACTERISTICS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a transistor used for amplifying and switching on circuits. In this study, the MOSFET parameters were computationally modeled, analysed and presented. The ... -
COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN CHEBARA RESERVOIR, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)River impoundments transform lotic aquatic systems to lentic with changes in physical and chemical properties, biotic assemblage and productivity. Chebara reservoir is located at 3605E and 022S and situated within ... -
BIOSORPTION OF SELECTED HEAVY METAL IONS FROM TEST SOLUTIONS USING GREEN ALGAE BIOSORBENT
(University of Eldoret, 2015)Human activities such as agricultural and industrial operations have led to the accumulation of pollutants for example, heavy metals in the environment since they do not break down. When this occurs over a long period of ... -
SYNTHESIS, SPECTRAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEXES CONTAINING MOLYBDENUM (V) LINKED TO NICKEL AND COBALT SCHIFF BASE COMPLEXES
(University of Eldoret, 2013)In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of monometallic and bimetallic complexes of schiff base ligands have been undertaken. Synthesis of bimetallic complexes initially involved preparation ... -
STIMULATED BRILLOUIN SCATTERING (SBS) CHARACTERIZATION IN MODERN FIBRES AND A TECHNIQUE OF SLOW LIGHT GENERATION
(University of Eldoret, 2015)Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is one of the recent technology that is being developed to generate slow light in optical fibres. It is one of the simplest and most applicable methods of slow light production. Slow ... -
THE BIO-ECOLOGICAL DYNAMICS AND EFFICACY OF A FIELD INTEGRATED CONTROL STRATEGY OF INVASIVE PEST, Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle, IN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) has been recorded in many tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world as a gall wasp attacking Eucalyptus species. Chemical control strategy is hampered by ... -
SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION OF SURFACTANT AND BIODIESEL FROM SESAME OIL
(University of Eldoret, 2014)The search for alternative biodegradable and sustainable raw materials from renewable sources for industrial chemicals to replace the depleted commercially available petrochemicals raw materials has become an area of great ... -
PHASE BEHAVIOUR OF L62 AND P104 IN WATER AND BENZYL ALCOHOL MIXTURES AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF L62, P104 and BRIJ-78 AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)The isothermal ternary phase and aggregation behaviour of amphiphilic co-polymer-water-benzyl alcohol systems was investigated for the two non-ionic surfactant systems: L-62 and P104 at 25 C. The phase boundaries were ... -
Impact of Temperature and Relative Humidity on PMD in Directly Buried Optical Fiber Cables in Semi-Arid and Tropical Highlands in Kenya
(Hindawi International Journal of Optics, 2019)The telecommunication industry has implemented fibre deployment guidelines that reliably safeguard cable health during installation in the field. While installed fibre cables remain buried in the field, temperature and ... -
On the Norm of Basic Elementary Operator in a Tensor Product
(International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research., 2019)In this paper, we determine the norm of an elementary operator in a tensor product. More precisely, we investigate the bounds of the norm of a basic elementary operator in a tensor product. We employ the techniques of ... -
Correlation between Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction, Pairing Energy Gap and Phase Shift for Identical Nucleons in Nuclear Systems
(Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2019)Assuming some known nucleon-nucleon interactions, and using the relations between phase shift δ and nucleon-nucleon interaction potential()Vr; the relation between nucleon-nucleon interaction and scattering length ... -
Hardness characterization parameters of Niobium Carbide and Niobium Nitride: A first principles study
(Elsevier, 2019)Niobium carbides and nitrides have been proposed as potential candidates for hardness and related applications, however, comprehensive studies are still needed for better understanding that may pave way for their ... -
